19 Times "Top Gear" Was Actually Really Really Good

    Basically this article is all about Top Gear minus all of the bits when they drive around in expensive cars for 20 minutes at a time.

    Yes, Jeremy Clarkson is in the dog house.

    1. When they drove a caravan to Dorset. It crashed.

    2. When they tried to put a Reliant Robin into orbit.

    The launch went without a hitch.

    But then the Robin wouldn't detach from the rocket.

    So you can guess what happened. It crashed.

    3. But they did fire a Mini down a ski slope.

    Without it exploding or anything.

    4. And Jeremy did manage to fit into the smallest car ever.

    5. Then there was the time when they were forced to test a Ford Fiesta so they asked baffling questions.

    Answer: the corvette will crash into Birthdays.

    They also asked this.

    A Ford Fiesta is perfect for beach assaults.

    6. Then there were the insults they wrote on each other's cars when they were driving in Alabama.

    Why? Well they were hoping that each other would be shot you see.

    7. Another notable moment from that episode? This.

    8. Of course the show has had failures, like the time they decided to turn a Renault Espace into a convertible.

    Well, the roof doesn't seem to look right from behind.

    9. They also weren't good at transforming cars into limos.

    10. Why? Well some of the limos were a BIT long.

    11. And Lemar's steering wheel fell off completely.

    12. But we learnt that you CAN drive a car like this.

    13. What else have we learnt? Well, you shouldn't put spikes on wheels if you are making a budget police car.

    Why shouldn't you?

    14. They also weren't very good at testing brakes of a British Leyland car when being told to park it at a top of a hill.

    15. Or driving a British Leyland car over cobbles.

    16. Or driving underwater in a British Leyland car.

    17. Or having to do anything with water.

    In fact none of them seem to worked well in water.

    18. And remember Oliver from Botswana?

    But the best thing about classic Top Gear?

    19. TOP GEAR DOG. God you were brilliant.
